What you can expect from a psychic reading will greatly depend on what type of reading you are getting. If you are getting a psychic reading from a medium, you are probably trying to connect with a deceased loved one. With this type of reading the psychic may or may not be able to contact the person you want to connect with, though they will almost always be able to contact someone close to you on the other side. In most cases, the person that you hope to hear from during your psychic reading will probably come through, but it can be more difficult if that person has not been deceased very long. Many psychics will tell you that it can be harder to connect with them, if the person has been gone less than a year.
During this type of psychic reading your loved one will communicate with you through the medium, possibly telling them things that no one could know but yourself and the deceased. This is their way of verifying that they are really communicating.
A psychic reading of your life and possible future will usually result in the psychic giving your information about your past and present, and also challenges that you are facing or what you can expect in your future. Most of the readings will be of the near future, like with in a year. This is likely due to the fact that your future is liquid and can change, depending on your choices and actions. A future prediction is based off of probability, according to what is going on in your life at the present.
